    Quite the premise in this thread. Because a rich person keeps more of the money they earn somehow it mean they are getting some of the tax dollars I pay? And minorities get less money because a rich person pays less in taxes? How does that work?

    And I still find it fascinating that so many folks who complain about income and wealth inequality NEVER mention or blame the Fed for the major role it plays. My guess is for two reasons: 1) they don’t understand how the Fed’s policy drives inequality and 2) they rather argue from a partisan position

    It does not work that way. there have been many impeachments throughout history. Most have been for judges. None of them had a vote first. There is simply no requirement for a vote. It is absolutely not a requirement. Pelosi stated it is a formal impeachment investigation.
    You are asking for 2 votes. .Vote in the beginning before you have investigated and then vote intelligently once the evidence is gathered.

    4 of the last five judges, going back to 1986, were appointed by Democrats. 1 of those 4 criminals went on to be elected in a majority minority district in Florida.

    The wealthy need to pay taxes...…..back taxes as far back as the reagan years.

    They owe America...……….and you're ignorant enough to want to keep cheerleading for them.

    Piss off!

    Since 1 in every 3 1/2 blacks uses food stamps, when are they going to start paying for the years of freeloading off white people?

    I have no idea why anyone would be surprised by this. Reducing the tax liability on the wealthy and affluent is the primary goal of the Republican Party. The only legislation of any consequence Trump and the GOP could pass was their tax cuts for the rich scheme. And that was after years of hollering that they were going to repeal and replace Obamacare and build a 2,000 mile long, big beautiful wall.

    How is letting someone keep more of what is theirs a scheme? You don't have a problem with poor people getting more from the system than they put in. Why do you have a problem with those that have been funding it keeping more of what is THEIRS?
